Join Us for the Annual Firecracker 5k in Wyandotte!
Get ready for the annual Firecracker 5k, a favorite tradition in our community! This year, it’s proudly organized by Conz Productions. Runners can participate in the 5k route, while kids can join in the fun with a free 200m dash (note: Free T-shirt and medal not included for the kids' race). The event will kick off on July 4th in the Theatre Lot at 1st & Elm St, in downtown Wyandotte.
Registration Details:
5k: $40 until June 14th; $45 from June 15th until race day
Important: Register by June 15th to guarantee your race T-shirt! Registrations after this date will still receive a medal, but T-shirts will no longer be available. Please note: Participants who register within 5 days of the race are not guaranteed a medal, so sign up early to secure yours!
Packet Pickup:
Packet pickup will take place at the Wyandotte Night Markets on Saturday, June 27th from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM in Downtown Wyandotte. You can find us at the Theatre Lot located at the corner of 1st Street and Elm Street.
If you are unable to attend packet pickup, no worries—your bib will be available for pickup on race day.
Volunteer Opportunities:
We appreciate any help we can get! If you’d like to volunteer, please check out the volunteer section on our page—we value every effort that makes this event special.
Giving Back to Our Veterans
